President Obama signed the renewal of the Patriot Act in the quiet of a slow-news Saturday–the Act was set to expire Sunday, February 28–as reported by The Hill.

The reauthorization did NOT include any reforms to the current Patriot Act–an odd display of agreement and submission to Bush-era policy–even though the Democrats had the numbers to reform the Act. The continuance of the current Patriot Act signals that Democrats are fearful of further controversary in light of American’s distrust and poor approval ratings of the Democrat-controlled Congress. From the Hill:

The House approved the bill 315-97 on Thursday, a day after the extension passed the Senate.

The provisions, including roving wiretaps, records access and tracking terror suspects not affiliated with any group, were set to expire on Sunday. Democrats opposing the extension were unable to add desired civil-liberties protections.

The Patriot Act was first passed by Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as a defense mechanism against terrorists.

The House and the Senate, behind the scenes of the healthcare fervor, quietly passed this bill with little oppostion and outrage. Democrats could have modified the Patriot Act, but didn’t.

Apparently without Bush, the Patriot Act is no longer Orwellian as Michael Moore would have it and the ACLU is now quietly voicing its differences. Even Obama criticized the Act’s compromise in 2006, but had no issue, as President, signing the identical Act he wanted reforms on. In 2006, Obama stated on the Senate floor:

So, I will be supporting the Patriot Act compromise. But I urge my colleagues to continue working on ways to improve the civil liberties protections in the Patriot Act after it is reauthorized.

The Democrats had the numbers to make changes, but another civil war would have ensued. In addition, it appears that when these controversial legislative pieces are passed by the Democrats, it makes it all better. No more outrage from the MSM and the far-left, because the rules of war and engagement are clearly different because, you know, the Democrats are in charge.

Obam-ape is a Commie baby-killing abortionist who can’t even make change for a dollar, let alone fix the economy. He thinks gay marriage, atheism and abortion will create jobs in the private sector, but if that’s possible, we is he seeking so many tax hikes? Because his next move is to teach gay methods in public schools.

I can not believe how ignorant democrats seem to be any more, I have not heard ANY of them use any facts for the democrat party, all they can seem to do lately is merely insult any other politician that is not a democrat, I see none actually stating any facts in any arguments, take the newt contract with America, all they can say is, it didn’t work last time? BUT BUT BUT I thought during the Clinton admin, everything was great???? do any of you realize WHEN that contract with America was introduced? 94 you idiots! No wonder it didn’t work, it had the democrats in office! maybe some of you brain dead hippies should just quite voting all together, maybe then some good independents will come to office and clean the lousy place up

Gee, the Republicans are responsible for the State of The Union, allowing Banks and Insurance to run wild with Vegas style investing, BUT I’m sure the US will return the Republicans to office in the next election and that will be the end of the USA.

Oh, and by the way the IMF predicts the end of the reign of the US as China will pass the USA in economics in 2016. Again, the Republicans are responsible for this by putting handcuffs on the economic growth of the US… but go ahead stick your head in the sand and say Oh no it aint so. That’s what Republicans do… we’re used to it.

I have come to the conclusion that Democrats are superior to Republicans in every which way after reading this bogus article. They’re better at running the government and have better character than people who politically lean to the right. It seems to me that a Republican is living in complete denial if they are to say Bush was a 100% successful president and that everything bad in America now has been caused by Bush. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I think people are too quick to forget the year 2007, the year Bush caused the economy to tank. Idiot Republicans are always wanting to blame Obama, but here’s the thing- Obama wasn’t in power yet when the economy got to it’s worse point! Republicans are just in too much ignorance to realize this. Oh hey republicans, disagree with me? How about you debate me? Yeah that’s right, get you’re good old Republican buddies Sarah Palin and Todd Akin to help you out while you’re at it. They’ll sure help, that’s for sure.

this wasn’t an election regarding the economy or true political issues. it was about race. fuck anyone who actually believes obama can bring this country back to the #1 economy. all the idiots who voted for him just want to ensure they will get their unemployment checks so they can continue the lazy ass lifestyle they have inherited from their crack-addicted parents. fuck democrats and fuck obama. he is a fraud. get a grip on reality or see a shrink. this is AMERICA.

look b oth parties are controlled by the ” new world order” rothchilds get over it, vote libertarian, Ron Paul, if you want real change. both parties are no longer defending our God given constitution, my relatives lived in Russia, trust me Stalin government is now in America. Wake Up Americans, we have become too much like “SHEEPLE” TV is mind control. don’t listen to mainstream media. think for your self.

It is hard to accept the fact that we are a nation of “IDIOTS”, except for those of us who would not vote for this shit eating rat of an illegal president under ANY circumstance! He is the absolute worst thing to ever happen to our once great country; this includes all the wars we have fought and 911. May God have mercy on our nation in deep trouble!!
